We don't want to confuse the viewers with anything as complex as "facts". Besides it would get in the way of showing us cute puppies, kittens, and other random fluffy animals... :-)
Ah yes! :-)
This kind of "national debate" programming seems to have really taken off recently. I find it less offensive than reality TV, largely because some of the programmes have actually served to educate. The Big Read and Great Briton ones, for example, have almost certainly increased the literacy and general knowledge of the populace, however fractionally. (Depressing how low some of the scientists came in the Great Britons thing, though.)
On the other hand, Ann Robinson should be ashamed of herself for claiming that her 'pop culture awareness' quiz relates in any way to IQ.
